As part of a sewer replacement project, the Town of Framingham, Massachusetts determined the most effective construction method to repair a failing 18-inch sewer located directly underneath a heavily traveled Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) and CSX Corporation (CSX) railroad, and located in a downtown area with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The rehabilitation of this sewer was made without any excavation, by slipping a new 12-inch replacement pipe inside the old failing 18-inch sewer, essentially creating a new pipe inside the old failing pipe.
